WEST Gambier will be out for redemption when it pads up for the opening round of the 2018-19 Barber Shield cricket season on Saturday.

The Roos finished second on the premiership ladder last year, but a below average batting performance in the semi-final against eventual premiers Penola saw the side miss out on the big game.
